A judge on a raised seat, plaintiff and defendants, witnesses or spectators stand below, surrounding a rectangular barrier within which is a table, at which a clerk is writing. Four counsel stand within the barrier, two to the right. of the judge, two to his left. The Judge (Mansfield) sits, his left forefinger raised, listening with a stern expression to the remarks addressed to him. In the centre, in back view, stands Lord Grosvenor, wearing a tie-wig with horns, to which he points, saying: "I only want to know for a Certainty whether I am entitled to this Head Dress". On the left in profile to the right. stand Lady Grosvenor, holding out a fan, and Cumberland. She says: "My case shall be laid before this Court, and I can have nothing to fear from an Upright Judge"; he says: "I can do no Wrong". Behind him on the extreme left is a woman wearing a hood and holding a fan. She says: "It was a Pity to disturb them when they were going to Prince Making". One of the counsel on the Judge's right says: "If her L-----d, has not bedded with her these two years She cannot be with Child, but she may be with Prince". The two counsel on the other side say: "The Lady acted upon Revolution Principles She is strongly attached to the Present Family, and, There is no actual Proof of Adultery." A man in back view says: "The Youth wanted a Sop in Pan." A cook, on the extreme right, says, laughing: "How his------R------y [sic] H---n---ss will be Roasted and Basted."--Brit.
